Poll: Where Do You Purchase Condoms?

Over the weekend, I had about an hour to kill. I was near a mall and a sex shop. I knew the mall was going to be packed so I decided to head into the sex shop. For Smitten research, of course.

Fine, fine, I picked up a few items for myself. When I walked in, I made a beeline for the condom buffet. Just about every sex shop I've ever been in has one of these set ups. Individual condoms are piled high in separate containers—not unlike the bins at candy shops—and you can select your favorites. Or new ones to try. An excellent idea, if you ask me. Have you ever tried unloading a box of 11 condoms after discovering one is not to your liking?

I mentioned my adventure to a friend and he said that he preferred buying condoms from sex shops. He feels less judged; he refuses to buy them from the drugstore or grocery store for fear of running into someone he knows.

Let's chat. And vote! What about you guys? Where do you buy condoms from? Do you ever feel self-conscious when you're at the check-out? Do you have a favorite brand of condom?__
